Why the Best Marketplaces Build Their Own Logistics

Lucas and Luna explore why the most successful online marketplaces eventually build their own logistics networks instead of relying on third-party carriers. Using Amazon's transition from FedEx to its own delivery network as the primary case, they break down the unit economics, the tipping point for vertical integration, and the trade-offs between asset-heavy and asset-light models. They also look at DoorDash's logistics-first marketplace approach and compare it with eBay's decision to stay asset-light. If you're building or investing in a marketplace business, this episode gives you a framework for deciding when logistics ownership makes sense and when it's a distraction. #MarketplaceLogistics #Amazon #DoorDash #eBay #VerticalIntegration #UnitEconomics #TwoSidedMarketplace #DeliveryNetwork #Fulfillment #AssetHeavy #AssetLight #LogisticsStrategy #Ecommerce #BusinessStrategy #Business #Technology #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
